Golf R only makes sense if you (a) really want AWD and (b) want a manual transmission

S3 is a fantastic car, but not available with a manual. This is a deal breaker for me, but I believe you currently drive an automatic, so it may not matter much to you.

My recommendation? S3 all day long for what you personally probably want. If it were me, and I had to pick one of those 3, it would be the Golf R, but only because of the manual. Otherwise, the S3 is a far nicer place to be in.

You can get a very low mile 2016 S3 Premium for about $30K.

If you want to spend a little less for something with more miles and a bit older, here is a 2015 S3 Prestige with 39k miles on it in Kansas City for $26,500.

This car is currently on Manhiem OVE for a buy it now price of $25,200 - so that means you could easily buy it for that.
The DCT is the transmission of choice. I believe all 3 cars have that. I love a manual, but spend 2 hour a day on the highway.
